Safe Search - Youtube saying I need a GSuite account.
Having safe search turned on resulted in my daughter not being able to watch most school related youtube videos as well as some google meet/classroom things. I only isolated by going one by one and turning off features on the firewalla blue until i was able to isolate/replicate the problem.
I have had to stop using the safe search feature because when it was enabled just trying to just view YouTube videos led to a message from Google saying I need a GSuite account.
Is this a known bug/feature and maybe I'm misreading the purpose of Safe Search?

Safe search is a feature enabled by firewalla, but what's being shown to the user is a decision made by the content provider. In your case ... Google/youtube.
What happen is, when safe search is on, firewalla will force all search to use the "safe search" engine by google. And that engine will only return safe results.
In your case, it is very likely, the content being provided didn't mark it as kid-safe, or marked by google as not safe for kids ... They fix is to mark the content somehow by the content creator.
